Abstract
UNOPS grew out of one of the most influential UN reforms, which was based on a 1969 report commissioned by UNDP’s Governing Council to respond to changes in UN membership and tasks. The report, Study of the Capacity of the United Nations Development System, informally referred to as the Jackson Report, provided a trenchant criticism of the functioning of the UN system. It particularly addressed UNDP’s central role in UN development cooperation.
